The great thing about the electronic music scene is that everybody can be part of it either by dancing, DJing, or organizing a party.

I never take drugs. I took ecstasy when I was in Ibiza once, but it didn't work for me. I think I was already on ecstasy when I was born.

I got introduced to the rave scene in 1992. At the time I was into skateboarding; I listened to a little hip-hop but was mainly into heavy metal and grunge.

I've been drunk maybe five times in my life. I don't like to lose control very much.

Some people started to call me "the King of No" because with Daft Punk we were saying "no" to everything.

When I want something, I want it now, and Daft Punk taught me to be more patient.

When I first walked through the doors of Rex Club, I realized that I didn't have to travel to raves outside the city to enjoy techno.

I at least want to keep having fun, and the rest we will see.

Many people think if you say "no" you just do this to negotiate a better deal, and they didn't understand that Daft Punk really meant "no" because they didn't want to do certain things.

There are some things that you have to consider when using MySpace, and a lot of big labels don't do this.

To me a lot of electronic music out there is too serious. I'm a bit fed up with DJs who take themselves too seriously and don't smile.

Was it worth it? My death, I mean. Did I die for something worthwhile?

As a filmmaker, I always took my inspiration from a filmmaker named Marcel Ophüls, who said, "I always have a point of view, but the trick is showing how hard it is to come to that point of view."

When the time for action arrives, stop thinking and go in.

Each man is for his lord, do not give chase.

If you must commit suicide ... always contrive to do it as decorously as possible; the decencies, whether of life or of death, should never be lost sight of.

Thinking visually is my starting point, and then the writing happens.

I probably didn't put forth the effort I should have put forth, didn't realize the value of education until I went to college.

But there are some situations of the human mind in which good sense has very little power.

I love myself for all my mistakes and missteps. They have been very valuable to me. They have taught me many things. It is the way I learn. I am willing to stop punishing myself for my mistakes.

the most important thing one can do for children is not accept the limitations they are so willing to impose on themselves.
